The North Bay Police Service hosted the Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR) in support of Special Olympics on Tuesday morning.
Officials say it’s a long-standing tradition for the police service with law enforcement officers from six agencies taking part this year.
They were joined by two local Special Olympics groups for the walk/run event and a private barbecue afterwards.
“LETR for Special Olympics is one of the largest charity organizations in the world, raising over one billion dollars since its inception in 1983,” states a release from city police. “Ontario’s chapter of LETR is a world leader.”
Officials add Special Olympics Ontario is dedicated to enriching the lives of those with an intellectual disability through sport.
